The vulnerability is due to incorrect parsing of malformed HSRP packets. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending malformed HSRP packets to bypass HSRP authentication. An exploit could allow the attacker to bypass HSRP authentication and affect the state of active HSRP group members, causing them to go to SPEAK state, which leads to black holing of traffic and causes a denial of service (DoS) condition.
